> first rom page not protected on 505

Roman, this is a 'feature' partially shared with other popular micros. See
the programming data sheet for your chip, it explains what is protected
and what not. 12C508 also has a similar problem. I am completely stumped
as to why they did this. The reset vector readable ?! All subroutines ?
Cool (NOT). Should have put the readable window at the top (last page) if
at all imho.
